  • You should try following the railway lines on the map, at a constant zoom level.
  • A region game could sound really nice. Last time you were dealing with Uusimaa. What would Pirkanmaa sound like, for example?

    I really like this kind of theme maps. Here's a higher level hint for southern Finland: On the first round you once again saw that special style of streetsigns. Those can be seen at least in Lohja, Kerava, Järvenpää, Mäntsälä, Tuusula and Orimattila. Lohja is the only one of those that is bilingual. Very easy to distinguish from those. Järvenpää is a special. It has always the subsection of the city with smaller text on top, but all other have just the municipality name.

    Couple of months ago 2 people got shot in Ravintola Roze.

    Hah, got that first one frame one since I used to pass it on my way to work, that was fun!

    This was painful to watch. At least the final one. Sign said Korpoström and you found it quickly and the shop said Korpo Handel on it. If you had just zoomed out and looked at the last place names to disappear you would have seen that Korpo is the largest place around there until Nauvo/Nagu. Also Puistola was easy. You saw that the station was puistola and after you knew you were close to Malmi you would have found it a lot earlier by following the train tracks to the next station as you did in the end.
  • I paid attention to the street name Munckinkatu right away. It literally means Munck's street. The first question in my mind was, who was mister Munck? Was he someone important? Am I supposed to know who he was? Is it really embarrassing if I don't know who he was? So I did some googling. Apparently, the street was named after General Johan Reinhold Munck (1795-1865). Never heard of him. Why there is a street named after him in Hyvinkää, I'm not quite sure. He owned a manor house in the area and it is nowadays considered a very important example of mid-19th-century manor architecture (that sounds like a terribly specific field of interest). He also started a school that, in essence, started the school system in Finland that every child was eventually able to attend. I think that's probably the reason why he got his own street. Education is highly valued here. So, hey, I actually learned something watching this video :D If I ever hear someone wondering about who the Munck street guy was, I'll be the smartass who knows the answer.

    In last round i think why you dont zoom enough in "Korpo" text in map because centrum is maybe there where is the text and it was Korpo Handel (sign in wall). So always can try zoom the centrum except small archipelago place.

    K-Market games are nice because there are many in some pretty small towns. You will see new shit.
  • Kuopio Just one I, you pronounced 2. Not kuiopio, or kuipio, but kuo-pio.

    Okay, this is BS! The flags are not even close to the right spot! The second map the flag was over 30m away from the correct spot!
